Freedom for the Stallion
Freedom For The Stallion is the debut album by The Hues Corporation released in 1973.
The album includes the original recording of "Rock The Boat." A later re-mix version of this recording became one of the first Disco hits in 1974 and reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
The title track, "Freedom for the Stallion" was also a minor hit. This Allen Toussaint song had been recorded earlier by Lee Dorsey in 1971. Later versions of "Freedom for the Stallion" include The Oak Ridge Boys on their 1974 self-titled Columbia Records debut, a 1974 single by Canadian pop-rock band Edward Bear, and a 2006 recording by Toussaint and Elvis Costello on the album The River in Reverse.Track listing
